What specific problem are you're not sure how to solve the right way ? Compared to some other language a proper PHP env is relatively dumb to set up, have a build script in your system of choice to install fcgi PHP in the version you need and the extensions you expect and setup the relatively simple conf file in your browser of choice, and then have a composer file to setup the libraries you need, tada you're pretty much down (everything else is not very much PHP specific)
